Some Toxicological Observations on Paraphenylene Diamine (Hair Dye) in Rats and Chickens

Abstract: Paraphenylene diamine (PPD) is commonly used in the Sudan as hair dye and to intensify Henna colour. Several cases of poisoning with this compound have been reported in humans. Therefore, in the present work, we have examined the haematological, pathological and biochemical actions of PPD in rats and chickens. We also attempted to extract and detect PPD in tissues from treated rats and chickens. The toxic effects of PPD were qualitatively similar in the two species, but the onset of toxicity was faster and inc… Show more

PPD is mainly used as an element of oxidative hair coloring products and temporary tattoos to fasten the dyeing process and produce a black color [ 11 - 13 ]. It can penetrate the hair shaft and undergo oxidative reactions, causing hair discoloration [ 14 ].…”
